Late Payment Policy

well I cant believe your still putting up with him ..... he sounds like the dad of the family I term a year ago....he had a problem with my holidays and he made a comment like "I work for the government and I get 4 weeks holiday and your just here and you want three weeks? and he waved his hand to signify my playroom when he said "your just here" I handed him a term notice the next day .....he had absolutely no respect for what I did and he had made other disparaging comments prior to that and that was the final straw.....this type of person thinks you are beneath him and he is proving that to you by being just a few minutes late .....if I was closing to go to an appt and this was prearranged I would expect parents to be there 5 mins early in order to get the child dressed and out the door, however when this parent was not there at 5 mins to closing time I would have dressed the child and be standing on the door step with my vehicle running so that when they pulled up you hand the kid off and say "you a few mins late I need to get to my appt" .....this guy is passive aggressive and I would show him the door

Crayola: I cant believe I'm still putting up with him either! That guy you were dealing with sounds very similar... I'm really hoping to just coast along with the same families that I have now until I become pregnant again and pick a closing date for my daycare.

I know what you mean ...sometimes its easier to just put up with it then interview for a new family and have to break in a new kid.....why don't you try changing your hours by closing 15 mins earlier and then if he is a few minutes late then who cares ......if he is always your last pick up then just change your hours for him but don't tell him its just for him ...make a letter saying dear parents effective jan xx 2014 my closing time will change to 5:15 (or whatever 15 mins earlier is) in order to accommodate my family obligations. thank you for your understanding....... .I used to be open till 530 and I hated it ...so as the later families left I kept backing up my close time till I got it where I wanted it.
